🌍 Global CSS Injection for Nginx

Description

This Ansible role ensures consistent global theming across all Nginx-served applications by injecting a unified global.css file.
The role leverages colorscheme-generator to generate a dynamic, customizable color palette for light and dark mode, compatible with popular web tools like Bootstrap, Keycloak, Nextcloud, Taiga, Mastodon, and many more.

Overview

This role deploys a centralized global stylesheet (global.css) that overrides the default theming of web applications served via Nginx. It's optimized to run only once per deployment and generates a cache-busting version number based on file modification timestamps.
It includes support for dark mode, custom fonts, and extensive Bootstrap and UI component overrides.

Purpose

The goal of this role is to provide a single source of truth for theming across your infrastructure.
It makes all applications feel like part of the same ecosystem — visually and functionally.

  • 🎨 Dynamic Theming via colorscheme-generator
